    Hello Slap..., I can fill in some of the blanks. Michael Kelly was also Irish senior champ, he defeated Paul McCloskey that night[ a tragic night when two of Paul's cousins were killed in a road accident on the way to the finals].Kelly lost to McCloskey in the following years senior final, so he turned professional with Barry Hearn and trained with Gerry Storey in the Holy Family club, Belfast.He found it hard getting fights and although undefeated drifted away from the sport.Time is not on his side but it's good to see him return.

    GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE BOXERS IN CRAIGAVON TONIGHT [the main event should be special, in a sold out venue]

    Probably a lateral step from Willie Gibbs. Echols is 0-4-2 in his last six and has shown signs outward signs of neurological damage so far as I can see. Probably shouldn't even be fighting.

    I don't see how this moves Lee forward at all.

    I was talking to him a little earlier about coming back to fight in thomand park in the summer he said nothing is official and its just people saying it would be a great venue for an Andy Lee fight.

    I think this is an oppertunity for Lee to get some rounds in against some one that isint going to fold after taking a few shots. I believe Andy will be much more active this year than he was last year.
